Important Call


What’s the most annoying phrase you’ve heard on someone’s voicemail message? Is it “I’m not able to take your call right now.”? Yeah. That’s an obvious one, isn’t it? My least favorite is “Your call is important to me”. What’s up with that statement? Can we get rid of “Your call is important to me” please? That callee doesn’t know the content or purpose of the call. They don’t even know who the caller is. They can’t possibly know if the call is important to them.  

I think I’m going to change my message to, “If this call is an emergency please hang up and dial 911”. You can’t go wrong with that.
